“The biggest plus of camp is
that camps help young people discover and explore their talents,
interests, and values. Kids who have had these kinds of (camp)
experiences end up being healthier and have less problems which
concern us all.”
— Dr. Peter Scales,
senior fellow at The Search Institute
“My kids really
loved Camp Ellowi, and I enjoyed the price. As long as I can afford it, my kids will be coming back. I
couldn’t find any place that was as much fun for
the price I paid. Thank you for having a cost-effective
Summer program.”
— Peter Elsner, a local parent
